Property owner is violating zoning regulations re road surface, dust control, lighting, etc. Ordinance provides that violations shall be deemed a misdemeanor punishable by fine. Each day a violation is permitted to exist shall constitute a separate offense. Other than a fine, what other action can the Town take to enforce the zoning requirements? Can the Town bring legal action to shut down the business until the business complies with the zoning requirements? Also, ordinances provide that the Zoning Administrator shall enforce the zoning ordinances. Small Town does not have a separate position dedicated to a Zoning Administrator. Any specific requirements for a Zoning Administrator or can the Town appoint a current employee, including police officer, to serve as the Zoning Administrator? Any thoughts or direction will be appreciated.
